Knowers of Knowledge, hear me

Can a mate in the US, legally, post me some cartridge cases? I want to say "yes" as 'tis only brass, but I have no idea if there's hidden "import" rubbish I haven't thought of.



Thanks

Common sense says yes.

Who knows what the legal weasels say...

Tell him to bung them in the post.

Yes it's not a problem, I have a nice email from the TSA stating so and stick a copy of it in every case full of kit I bring back with me

Only import stuff to worry about is if the value is over £18 (including shipping) in which case you may/or may not, get stuck for import duty, Vat and a hefty charge for the privilege of having Parcelforce or UPS etc. collect the fees from you (thieving b@st@rds)

I have bought lots of cases from the States as long as you dont purchase stupid amounts there should be no problem.

Tower, tell your mate to put a value of $1 on the customs label and to tick the "gift" box, also tell them to pack it nice and tight so it doesn't rattle around inside the box. That way you shouldn't have a problem with VAT and such (most of the time). It's what I do when I send kit over and to my knowledge VAT has never been added when it landed in the UK.

TSA wrong Govt. department, they have no say.
You need to look at BATFE who will say it is a component part of ammunition, any of which cannot be exported.
But, hell, go for it - you can only 'loose' it!

Talked to the bATFe offices in Orlando and Tampa, didn't have a clue, they suggested the TSA as they have the final say as to what's allowed onto an aircraft in your luggage. Never had a problem with any TSA inspected luggage apart from Birchwood Casey Brass Case Cleaner which is a Hazmat problem if it leaks onto aluminium.

OK, sorry, still wrong!

Here is the official link to the definition from the BATFE The TSA are NOT the governing body - Transport Security Agency only there to cavity search innocent people, so 'talking' to them is meaningless seeing as it is not part of their purview.
